Hi Everyone, We hope you enjoyed our video! Which travel trailer with front kitchens did you like best? Do you prefer a small or larger travel trailer? Please say hello by leaving a comment below and sharing you opinion about these RVs!
I love front kitchens. We had a '66 International trailer when the kids were growing up. I loved that front kitchen so much that when we got home, I would insist we eat our first meal in the trailer. We had that trailer for almost 2o years and never had a great day problem with it. I wish I they built them like that now.
What awesome memories! I wish they built them like that now too! We have the technology just need better manufacturer pride vs greed. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Even though we love our smaller 17ft trailer, I think we all love seeing other ideas. The last one was nice for a larger TT and those front kitchens are really nice. The bed is so hard to make even in our walk around bed, I can't imagine the ones that are tucked against the wall like the first TT. Having spent time in ours now, I truly believe the walk around bed, large bathroom and storage are key factors. And if you are a little OCD like me and love to organize then it's really fun!
This is kinda like my (Susan) version of House Hunters, just love seeing what's out there! We have a Class C with a corner bed - hate it! Storage OCD...I think we might be related! 🤣. Thank you for your support!
They are all beautiful. Being single, I'd be fine with the first. Only one slide. 👍 As for hanging clothes, in my van I put multiple hangers in waterproof garment bags and hang on the shower bar. Easy to grab and remove when using the shower. I do love front kitchens. Thanks for the review!
I've been really wanting the NOBO RVS1 & I love the slide & set-up n the RVS2 but I'd love to see a RVS3 with the 1 bedroom and the slide n the living room/kitchen on the kitchen wall to open up the living room & also I love the Murphy bed with drop down table so during the day it can be used as a dining room/office/exercise room. You can do so many activities in there 😂.. But after seeing the 3rd gorgeous front kitchen camper with the bright, luxurious & modern design, huge bathroom & really great master I'm now torn on which one I want now... 😮😊.. Y'all are amazing and very thorough &vi really appreciate what you're doing, although a little jealous 😌. Traveling the world 🌍 in a camper or tiny home (THOW) IS MY DREAM... So i would absolutely love to have a van camper or class C but they're so far outta my price range 😭... Thank you both.. Donna Lollar From Oakman Alabama....
The Forest River Grand Surveyor 268FKBS is a beautiful travel trailer! With a lot of WOW factor. Check the used market for a Class B or Class C in good condition. We bought our first motorhome from Facebook Marketplace. If you find something you like, please get it inspected to avoid a money pit. It is well worth the cost. We didn't and we learned the hard way. We had a busted water pump. It wouldn't have stopped us from buying it but we could've avoided the little flood. 😬 Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
On that Jayco, I would rather have a solid wall behind the bed, but the bed on the opposite side where the storage and door is. So in other words flip the bedroom set up makes more since. And better flow. As for the dining living area I would have an L shared extended couch with table at the end by the kitchen with charging ports and collapsible 2 chairs. As for the bathroom, I would change it to have an incinerator toilet, with the sink area where the toilet is and the toilet where the sink cabinet area is with one door entry which allows for more counter space and cabinet space too.
Love, love the first trailer! I wish my husband and I would have seen this before we bought a used trailer. It doesn't have as much storage inside as ours but it has the space for us and 2 dogs, one of which is almost 70 lbs. He could have used the couch as his bed at night like he does our trailer.
Great video as always. Also great article in your last e mail article about the cost of RV ownership. It is so easy to fall into a financial trap thinking you can afford to buy an RV but not understand the “cost of ownership” which includes use, maintenance, wear and tear, insurance, fuel, insurance. It would suck to buy an RV that you can’t afford to use.
Thank you so much for your support both on our TH-cam channel and website. We truly hope to inform "RV newbies" of all the unexpected costs and hardships that can come with RV ownership...just like owning a house. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
Great reviews Susan and Mike. 1st one, meh. No hanging wardrobe closet, no splash guard around the cooktop. Fit and finish seems rushed and cheap. 2nd and 3rd, just a copy and paste. Fit and finish is on the economy side of things. Front or rear kitchens are great though. Also, almost a week passed before I was notified for this video. Also also, could you state if the toilets are porcelain or plastic? I have, and I know others who have had problems with the plastic ones breaking rather quickly. Keep up the good work.
Hi Tuvia! We had a glitch last week and this video launched the same time as our Internet video and that has seemed to cause some issue. Sorry about that. We batch shoot our videos at many RV shows have quite a bit of content already shot, but moving forward we can definitely include the type of toilet. Thanks so much for your support!
Good question! Unfortunately we are never able to shoot our videos with slides in at RV shows. 🥲. We are working on a solution. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
The first one definitely had no travel access. The second one you can get to the bathroom, maybe the fridge but.. you can't sit in the slides or sleep in the bed.
Would like to know how much walking room and accessibility there is with the slide in? The trailers always show with the slide out but rarely with them in and you can't always put your slide out if you stop somewhere at night..would be good to know how much room there is..thanks
I agree. Sorry we don't show RVs with the slides in in our tours. We shoot our video at RV shows and dealerships and are not able to bring them in. We'll try to find a work around to solve this moving forward. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!

The Forest River Microlite 2516 & 2506
The 2nd one seemed to be laid out the best with the better features. Liked the lights in the kitchen and the storage.
Loved the Jayco White Hawk 26FK. That kitchen was a winner! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!

Hi Britt! That’s a great idea for hanging clothes! Everything in an RV has to be multi functional. Thank you for your support!
Thank you for pointing that out about the drawers.
$55,000 trailer you shouldn’t have to fix drawers and put proper hardware in cabinets.
You're welcome. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
YES! We were quite disappointed to have to repair ours! Not cool.

I think you would be better off finding a different trailer but I see what you are saying!
15:55 - The first thing I’d do is add a panel to make that under table extension usable space for something thin. 😊
That's a great mod for that dinette. Always have to be thinking of storage and great multi-function use. Thanks Erin!
Excellent informative advice!! Thank you.
Thank you! So glad you found our information helpful! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
Second one
The Jayco White Hawk 26FK is a great floor plan! That front kitchen was a winner. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!

The FR Geo Pro has a great floor plan and only 21'! Sounds like a lucky pup! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
I have an older kitchen in the front trailer and I love it. And you're right - none of the newer trailers have even half as much storage room.
❤❤❤

Thank you ... always very informative! Wonder with the placement of the bathrooms if they can be accessed when the slides are in. Probably not.

You mistakenly called the last model the previous Jayco. 😅 no Worries. That keystone was totally forgettable.
I know!🤦♀️ Rookie editing mistake 🤣. Thank you for understanding.
